The question's been answered, but IDL isn't the ideal (pun intended :o) tool here... IMO
at least. What about:

#!/bin/sh
old_dirs=`ls -d 20??.*`
new_dir="2000-2008"
test -d ${new_dir} || mkdir ${new_dir}
for dir in ${old_dirs}; do
mv ${dir}/* ${new_dir}
done

in regular old shell??

Disregard if you're a windows user of course....

cheers,

paulv
